came here for lunch after another yelper recommended this place. They said id probably be the only gringo in the building and they were right. The workers did not speak English, which for me was the first sign I was in the right place. I got a lunch special. $7 for two tacos, rice & beans & then got an additional taco for $3. They gave free chips and salsa. I order Al pastor tacos and they didn't understand me and gave me carne asada tacos instead. I didn't say anything because I really didn't care what type of tacos they gave me- I knew they'd be good and I was right. The tacos were delicious. All of their tortillas are home made & delicious. The beans were phenomenal. It was really nice inside and there was lots of people. I can't wait to come back. Lunch specials are 7 days a week. $15 for all of this food & that included a 40% tip. If you want authentic Mexican food- this is the place. Thanks for the recommendation from my yelp friend read more

I love the food here. When I went for lunch there were no prices on the menu. I just couldn't support this business. What a shame. Made me question their whole business model. What made it worse is they tried to convince me they never had prices in the menu but it's a local brand place that I had been to many times and reviewed. No prices on the menu is shady read more

It is a little whole in the wall restaurant, nothing fancy. Fish was delicious, service was good. We also had chicken caldo but were disappointed that it didn't have corn in it. Loved the salsa they serve w the chips. read more

Los Corrales Restaurant - Fish - Mexican Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Mildly disappointed. Ordered a botana. First irritant. No prices on menu. Waitress had to go ask someone before she could tell me also waitress tried hard but very poor English. Botana is what I ordered but I got something very different. A Botana is easy to make. Fry & render chorizo, combine with refried beans add a little water & scoop over a bed of tortilla chips. Cover with grated muenster cheese melt with microwave or oven. Add vegetables lettuce, tomatoes, onions, avocado. What i got was dry. If there was cheese & beans it wasn't much. The onions & tomato was diced and not a lot even though I requested heavy onions. There was a fair amount of chunked meat which was broiled so they were trying but whoever made it neither knew how to make one or never ate one. Maybe some of the other offerings on the menu were better but without prices I won't be back. read more

Amazing! Los Corrales is a hidden gem with a killer chicken dinner. Tacos are always on our mind, my asada was seasoned to perfection. His carnitas were nice and crunchy and flavorful. We were absolutely blown away by the chicken. It is seasoned perfectly. It was so tender, I could pull it apart. We even debated on grabbing a couple dinners to go! Los Corrales is tucked away on Junction. Make your way over to this amazing little spot for some of the best chicken and tacos you have ever had! read more

The chicken is always best during lunch time. Since we work the swing shift on our lunch break we come by and get our asada tacos. No one here has a bad day which comes to a very nice wait staff. The place is small but the feeling is very traditional. I think that is always a plus when a comes to a little Mexican restaurant. One the best things here is that it's set right in the middle of neighborhood. This place stays very busy I believe they even have a pool table here. That's is all. Chief One of the best times in your life should be making a difference in the world. read more

I really enjoyed the Birria tacos. The meat was soft and fell apart in my mouth. Very tasty. The carne asada tacos were slightly disappointing. The meat was dry and had too much gristle. Wife thought she bit into a bone. I would eat their Birria tacos again, but avoid the carne asada. Service was friendly and was food served hot. read more

This is arguably the best spot for legit AF Mexican food in Detroit. Chargrilled meat, amazing salsas, and great service are what this spot is all about. The drinks are huge and everything here is seriously cheap! I found this place by accident after trying to eat at every other spot in MexicanTown the other night... this one was open! Boom! Apparently many spots have reduced hours due to covid still... read more

Such a solid spot for very tasty fare. After your seated, your table promptly gets served a tray of hot chips, three different salsas, limes and radishes. It's a strong, very delicious start! My go-to order is a few tacos, the pazole, and a side of guac. I am definitely a sharer when it comes to eating (see also: mooch), and everything I've tried has been quite good. Bonus points because they seem to have the longest hours around. If it's late and you need a quick bite, this should absolutely be your place. read more

Moved to Detroit from Los Angeles and we were so sad to leave all the amazing Mexican food behind but when we found Los Corrales we felt right at home! Everything is fresh and flavorful! You know the foods going to be good when Tio is out back smoking the meats! 100% recommend eating here!! read more

Authentic in every way. So NOT boring. We are from the west coast visiting and stumbled upon this as we are foodies and try our best to find dope spots off the beaten path. No prices on the menus. Average pricing but amazing atmosphere and food. read more

To place a pickup order you have to call 5 times or more and if its super busy the older lady who takes care of the front hangs up on you so it leaves you having to call back countless times because she is unable to multitask. She must be related to the owners because she is rude and sometimes even has a kid with her you would think since they help her she would have a better attitude, but she does not business really needs to work on customer service skills read more

Very authentic and delicious. Got cabeza and Al pastor tacos, so SO good. I love the atmosphere and decor. Service is good, but some people may find it hard to order because most servers speak Spanish. 100% coming back read more

Diamond in the Rough! Unbelievable taste, the Carne Asada, Al Pastor, and the Pollo Al Carbon was the best Mexican food Ive tasted in quite some time. If your in Detroit, swing by, ask for a double shot of Don Julio 70. And then prepare yourself for some of the best food you've ever eaten. Make sure you finish off with Pastel de tres Leche and a cup of Cafe de Olla. You will not be disappointed! read more

This is by far the absolute worst Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. We wanted to try a new place out in Southwest what a mistake. Cold grease chips and some type of salsa that should never be consumed. We also order to margaritas one frozen. The drinks arrived and we actually thought one was a Pina Colada . I took a sip of my drink and it was straight margarita syrup with ice. We asked the staff to make sure and everyone gave us blank looks. Terrible service if you want real Mexican food drive pass fast because this isn't it!!! read more

This is my secret...I can't tell you how good it is because I want to keep it to myself. Best tacos ever with the best selection of meats. Excellent sauces/salsas. It's a little hard for me to order here because I don't speak Spanish and the menu is a little confusing. Now add soft spoken waitresses wearing masks and you may or may not get what you ordered (thus 4 instead of 5 stars, but I'm not sure that's entirely fair...) still...I will take their authentic deliciousness over the old standbys a lot of people frequent any day. They don't seem to be lacking for business so definitely do not go here. Leave it all for me ;) read more

Fantastic asada tacos. Service is fast and friendly and food is delicious. Definitely a great option in Southwest.

AUTHENTIC & QUALITY - You pull into the parking lot and immediately get the delicious smell of chicken being freshly smoked! Service was amazing and the food was beyond amazing! Fresh ingredients, and truly a taste of Mexico! Anthony Bourdain was talking about this food when he talked about Mexican cuisine that excites the pallet and gives you a glimpse into the amazing culinary delights of an amazing country that's right next door!

Pure Mexican food. Excellent and great service. Try the soup. It is the largest bowl of soup I have ever seen!

Serving the best fish tacos hands down and fish torta I recommend it there liquor is top notch servers are the best

A nice little gem of a restaurant tucked away in the neighborhoods of Southwest Detroit. We stopped in because all of the other Mexican restaurants were closing early due to the holiday, and we were pleasantly surprised. We ordered some tacos, steak, and the pollo al carbon. I've had a lot of grilled chicken in Southwest, and I have to say theirs might be the best. Everything was really tasty. They even serve you handmade tortillas on the side for your meals, but the tacos seem to be served on premade tortillas, which is fine with me. My only negatives would be the location and the facilities themselves being a bit on the rough side. Otherwise, I highly reccomend giving them a try. read more

MUY Delicioso! We were cheerfully greeted upon entering. They sat us in a booth and already I knew this was going to be a great experience, we were the only English speaking people (*ahem* Gringos) in the place... We ordered Horchatas (a wonderful cinnamon, milk and rice drink) and the waitress promptly brought us freshly made tortilla chips on a tray with 3 salsas some horseradish and limes. The salsas were so tasty. I loved the verde and I usually don't go for mild salsa- but theirs had a nice onion-y tangy taste. For lunch, I couldn't resist the Tacos al Pastor. They immediately passed the authenticity test: 2 soft corn tortillas per taco and sprinkled with fresh cilantro and onion. The dish came with rice and beans on the side and roasted pepper and onion. The taco was pretty top notch, although the red Pastor sauce was a bit overly salty and I ended up adding salsa verde to it to add spice and tone down the salt. Taqueria Mi Pueblo had better Pastor sauce. There, it didn't need anything extra...but it was also more greasy than the tacos at Los Corrales. The rice and beans here far out shined that of Taqueria Mi Pueblo so...they evened each other out in my mind. You win some, you lose some. Overall, great lunch experience. I'd recommend Los Corrales to anyone looking for a classic Mexican taco experience. ***CASH ONLY!*** read more

Freaking awesome authentic Mexican food place! You have been missing out if you haven't tried this place yet. We got a whole table full of delicious food just for under $40 without the tips, and when I said a whole table full, I mean as in we both are already full and there's still that much food on the table. Tacos are the super bomb, and the waitress are very friendly too. read more

The food was good... service this time was HORRIBLE. Oy saw out waitress 2 or 3 times and we had to keep asking for our stuff because she wouldnt bring them. She forgot out tortillas and the kids' drinks. Asked for the bill, 20 mins later NOTHING. Had to go up to register and ask for it while she was in the corner talking with with waitresses. I hope i remember her face so i make sure she doesnt wait us. read more

The service was slow and the food was subpar. Definitely one of the worst Mexican spots I've ever been too.

Stopped in for a quick lunch on the way to the Honeybee Market. Nice place off the main drag. Had guisado de puerco, pork in a green sauce of tomatillo and chiles. Dish was great. The tortillas seemed super fresh - had a very distinct corn flavor and aroma; more so than usual. No lack of lard here. Nice array of salsas, limes and radishes served with chips. They had a special of tamale and champurrado (chocolate atole) which I'll try next time. Also tacos need to be tried. Plenty of on-street parking in front. Good waitstaff. I was the only non-spanish speaker in the place. read more

Meh. Tacos were ok. My friend found something resembling a tooth in her food.... Both of our drinks basically had no alcohol in them. read more

Prompt service with delicious food. That's all I really ever wanted. A little rustic around the edges as is the neighborhood, completely fine though. read more

The food was a great portion and overall was very flavorful. The menu wasn't very clear though and didn't list any prices. The service could've also been better too. It's very much a mom and pop kind of restaurant, quaint and good, but nothing outstanding. read more

I parked in the lot at the back of the building and didn't want to go inside. At the back of the building are the outdoor grills and the smell of that chicken was unbelievable!!! The Polo el Carbon might be the messiest chicken I've ever had, but it was delicious. It comes with pinto beans, rice and flour tortilla's as well as chips and salsa. For $7 you can beat this lunch. read more

A hidden gem off the beaten path near Mexican town. We found Los Corrales. Just a few blocks from Vernor Highway, on the corner of Junction and Toledo streets, you will find this place. There are two dining areas, one near the kitchen and a separate, slightly more formal section of booths. Every meal starts with a complimentary bowl of tortilla chips alongside a plate of condiments including sliced radish, lime wedges, a chunky, fresh tomato salsa, a green, tomatillo-based salsa with a bit of heat and our favorite and spiciest of the three, the roasted tomato salsa. When we pulled up in the parking lot, they had a huge grill and cooking on it. It smelled wonderful. My friend had the Menudo (tripe Soup) . He said it was good but lacking a lot of tripe in it. He did love the taco's. The meat had a wonderful flavor and very tender. I had the fajitas. I had a mix of steak, chicken and shrimp. It definitely tasted like it just came off the grill. The seasoning was perfect and the meal was big enough to bring home for lunch the next day. The wait staff was friendly and excellent service. The Con's, when you order pop, it comes out of a can, so you would need to pay for a refill. The back door of the place was left open and we had a few flies hanging with us during our meal. LOL Over all the food tasted homemade and fresh. The prices are the same as Mexican town restaurants. About $8 to $10 a meal. I will definitely be back. read more

Great Authentic Mexican food! The best I've had in a while... When we sat down, they quickly gave us fresh chips and salsa, as well as a variety of different sauces, limes, and radishes to go with. I ordered the chicken chimichangas and my boyfriend ordered the chicken enchiladas. Both were excellent choices. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I would also highly recommend the guacamole. Our server was nice and prompt. Overall, excellent meal, and will be sure to visit again. read more
